Another reason EVs are NOT the way forward. They're heavier than ICE cars and so they go through tires significantly faster. I wonder if anyone has done the math on how much of our world is filled with microplastics from car tire treadwear. I imagine it's astonishing.

Adding: It's also not surprising to me if car tires are made of plastic these days. The level of engineering it takes to make a tire sticky enough to bring a modern 5,000 pound SUV to a full stop like the 3,500 pound sedans of yore has to be insane.

The awnser is 78% of all microplastics in the ocean are from tires.

So what you're saying is that scientist's laziness on the development of flying cars is what is going to lead to the downfall of man.

I always knew it...
